Corday Hawkins, 45, of Flint recently discovered a pile of manure dumped in his driveway three hours after his wife told a landscaping company it wouldn't get the $120 they owed until two days later.

"There was flies. It was ... ugh ... I couldn't even believe it. It was just nasty," said Hawkins, whose daughter's boyfriend allegedly saw the company truck dump the foul pile - as tall as a garbage can - in the driveway.

Hawkins spent four hours shoveling and cleaning it up.

Now the landscape company owner himself is in deep doo-doo.

Hawkins called City Councilman Darryl Buchanan. Both he and Mayor Don Williamson came out to the Alma Avenue house along with several police officers, Hawkins said.

Flint Police Inspector David Dicks said the owner of the landscaping company refused to cooperate on an "amicable" resolution, so Dicks went with option No. 2 and got a warrant for illegal dumping. The owner, who turned himself in Monday, could face up to 93 days in jail and a $500 fine.
